Consignment settlement

[Former Member]

Hi Gurus,

can anybody please clarify the following for me.

IN MRKO, which is the consignment and pipeline settlement, what vendor should we enter to bring out the material documetns, i'm guessing it is the vendor number on whom the PO was originally cut right? If there is no alternative payee maintained in the vendor master of the main vendor, then whom does the payment go to? Does it go to to main vendor? I think we should never enter the PI vendor number in MRKO, because we will not get any material documents, do we?

Thanks

In case of Invoicing party PI being different than that of the vendor VN, MRKO should still be run on VN only. The program will automatically identify the PI linked to the VN and create invoice as per PI.

Keep in mind the stock association at the time of GR will still be that of the VN partner function. Only when the consignment issue happens the invoicing party come into picture.

OK. so in the case where all the partner functions are played by the VN vendor itself, after the MRKO is run using VN, the system will pay the VN vendor only as all the functions are played by the VN vendor. is that right?

Thanks

Yes, the default is all partner functions being same, but SAP allows to have multiple partners based on business requirement

In MRKO transaction you need to give Vendor which you consumed materials.For consignment & pipe line settlement you already created Consignment & Pipe line settlement info record.According to consumed material you have to give that vendor which you created info record before.

is it possible to create a cosnignment inforecord with a vendor type OA, GS Or PI?

[former_member581212]

No you can't directly make it, to achieve this you can proceed in the following way:

Firstly, make the VMR(Vendor master) with the req. OA etc save it...

And then make the consignment inforecord for this vendor along with the material/material group and then based on this inforecord pay to the vendor defined...

Consignment inforecord is must for the consignment process...

i think we are getting off track here. My original question is how will the system determine whom to pay when we process MRKO with a PO vendor in the following cases

1) when all the partner functions are played by the main vendor (PO vendor) and there is no alternative payeee maintained in the VMR.

2) when there is a alternative payee and PI maintained in the VMR, both being the same and what if both are different. How will the system determine who to pay and where can we see this

Thanks

Hi,

This issue should handle offline by staking material by vendor.
